Courtesy Pluto Film A drag queen comes out to his small-town mother but all hell doesn’t break loose in Šimon Holý’s heartfelt and crowd-pleasing feature “Chica Checa.” The film screens on Saturday in the Crystal Globe Competition at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
Holý, who wrote, directed and composed the music for the film, spent “seven or eight years” with “Chica Checa,” developing the project before and while he was working on his debut feature, “Mirrors in the Dark.”
